Reminds me of the best year of my life.....1970 rotated from I Corps RVN to MCRD San Diego. Seemingly indestructible first lieutenant with nothing in sight but nurses and teachers.......

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the Angels all paired off
With United States Marines.

What sound do Marines pray for in a firefight?

Brrrrrrrrrttt

The 30mm gatling gun the A-10 is built around.

Because nothing can stop the US Air force. Except lightning within 5 miles.

IYAAYAS.

Knew a gunny like that once. He often made little “mistakes” that we’d benefit from. Once he made Top....he stopped with the mistakes.

Come on Top....

On a tour of the south Pacific, Eleanor Roosevelt bragged about the Marines killing so many Japs. She didn’t say Japanese, she said Japs.

This “study” is making it sound like the Marines should be more like the f’ing Chair Force and that this somehow is shameful.

The DOD conducted a study to determine the way men from the four branches of service coped with unexpected dangers.

They were all asked this question:

"What would you do if you found a scorpion in your tent?"

The sailor said "I'd stomp on it and squish it."

The soldier said "I'd hammer it to death with my boot."

The Marine said "I'd catch it, bite the stinger off and eat it."

the airman said "I'd call room service to find out why there's a tent in my room."

Great post.

But Marines can be very philosophical also, when my son made sergeant he said: “ A sergeant in the Marine Corps.....top of the food chain.”

Once you make Staff NCO the competition gets much rougher.

Adapt, improvise, overcome.

That’s right.

At the end of the war, any one of the US Navy Fleets was larger than the whole Royal Navy.

Reputations and traditions, are earned, and must be maintained.

Semper Fi!!!

He forgot mustangs and never met chief of the boat :)

[dgbrown]

These people are nothing but “fun stoppers”. I don’t like fun stoppers.
